Using String resources

Am lost in the coding for string resources see my attached code

CodeChallenge.java 
Button loadPuppiesButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.puppiesButton);
String buttonLabel = "";
loadPuppiesButton.setText("LOAD");
String name = getString(R.string.buttonLabel);
strings.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <string name = "morePuppies">See More Puppies</string>  
</resources>

Your error is here: String name = getString(R.string.buttonLabel);

You should be setting the buttonLabel value which is currently a blank string, "".

That should be set as the string id you set in the previous question, R.string.morePuppies.

So, it should look like:

String buttonLabel = getString(R.string.morePuppies);

Hope that helps!

Steve.
